Abstract

The main objective of this study is to verify how social enterprises through recycling cooperatives are developing reverse logistics under the theoretical lenses of economic, social and environmental value creation in Brazil and Poland. For the accomplishment of this research qualitative approach was applied, and the method used was multiple case studies, where more than one object of study was considered, with an exploratory and descriptive nature. During the interviews with the managers of the social enterprises in Brazil and in Poland semi-structured script was used. In order to verify the economic, social and environmental value creation the triple layer business model of Osterwalder and Pigneur (2011) and Joyce and Paquin (2016) was applied. Among the results it can be highlighted the creation of value beyond financial value, social inclusion through the generation of work and income, cleanliness of the municipality and appropriated disposal of recyclable materials, ecological value through reductions of environmental impact and ecological regenerative positive value in both countries, Brazil and Poland.

Abstract

One of the main advantages offered by Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is the exchange of data between organizations, from simple e-mail to the most sophisticated information systems such as Efficient Consumer Response (ECR), Supply Chain Management (SCM) (CPFL), Business-to-business Commerce (B2B) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Complexity increases when we extrapolate the boundaries of companies and integrate the information of several organizations in a shared way, as each company has its own culture. The research work proposed here aims to carry out an exploratory study, which seeks to analyze the implementation of an interorganizational system like EDI in the automobile industry, based on the information and opinions of the managers of small and medium enterprises of the auto parts sector. In order to achieve the objective of this work, a survey was carried out with suppliers of auto parts for the Automobile Industry assemblers, using the EDI. In general, the research indicated that the use of EDI (or interorganizational systems) by auto parts companies is still at a very early stage. When comparing the aspects presented in the theoretical models selected in the literature with the reality of these companies, it is seen that those concepts are, for the most part, far from becoming reality. At the same time, it can be said that the characteristics and benefits obtained from the use of EDI systems are very small, compared with the models presented.
